As posted elswhere the RB20T box is the last and strongest of the 71 series boxes . I went to a lot of trouble to put these guts into FJT caseings with reasonable success . If there was a next time I'd just modify the FJ bellhousing (need someone to accuratly bore the lower bearing hole and use the RB's front cover plate) and fit it to the RB71 box . I would never try to mix and match the early extention and selector bits again . We had to braze two speedo drive worms together as they were moved on the RB mainshaft and do not line ip with the early extentions hole . I have heard of people welding up and re-drilling the top two bolt holes and locating dowel , I reckon doing the FJ's housing mod is cheaper and simpler .

How much did it cost to get to 350rwhp?

GT30 turbo,external wastegate,550cc injectors,wolf ecu,bosch fuel pump and front mount cooler.

The power output is only restricted by using pump fuel.The boost is set at 19psi but im told the turbo will come alive at 25psi.

As for the cost i only paid for parts as i fitted and wired it all.The best money ive spent i know that much!

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old

      Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.

      Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!

      I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?

      What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
